Chapter 651
Before Irene could respond, the doctor said, "Hold on, wasn't your name supposed to be Irene?"
Irene stared at him for heartbeats, unable to place him.
"You know me?"
Seeing that she had no recollection of him, the doctor deliberately made a wounded look.
"I guess you're too important to remember me now," he joked, and introduced himself, "The name's Seth. Seth
Hedge."
Irene realized with a start-he was an old neighbor, though his appearance had certainly changed.
"Didn't your family move abroad?"
'I returned this year. My family is still abroad, though." Seth replied. "When Jeff introduced a patient and told me to
offer special privileges, I didn't think that it would be you."
Irene did not expect such a coincidence either. "I did work with Jeff at Mead Clinic."
Seth was left in disbelief. "You made it into Mead at your age? That's impressive! Even Jeff had to ask his girlfriend
to pull strings to get in."
"It was a coincidence," Irene said humbly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeth smiled then and joked, "Anyway, you're looking plenty good. Why would you need fixing?"
Irene took off the scarf covering her face just then, revealing her facial scars.
It actually left Seth stunned. "What happened there?"
Irene did not reply, and instead asked, "Is it possible to fix this? Would it take a lot of time to recover?"
Seth examined it then.
He saw that the scar stretched from her cheek down to her neck, but a surgery would suffice with his expertise.
"It's no problem if you leave it to me, though you would need time to heal as well since it's quite large. I'm guessing
you're asking about recovery because something's coming up?"
"Yeah. I'm doing this for my wedding," Irene replied.
"You're getting married? Congratulations! But this is going to need around a month long of recovery. Would it affect
your plans?"
"No," Irene said-they had that much time anyway, and Isaac would need to make arrangements for the wedding as
well.
"Would it be alright if we schedule the surgery for tomorrow?"
Irene nodded. "Sure. Thank you."
"Oh, you can thank me later with dinner-once I restore your ravishing beauty."
Irene became a little embarrassed, but said, "Of course."
Irene left soon after, since Seth still had other patients.
As she stepped outside, she was left a little emotional that she would run into yet another familiar face.
While she was waiting for a taxi, she suddenly saw a certain someone approaching her.
As she looked closer, she realized that it was Lulu Adams.
'Could I talk to you?" she asked.
"Sure. Are you alone?" Irene asked, looking around but not finding Zachary Slate.
"I was getting something from the pharmacy opposite and I came over when I saw you standing here."
In fact, Lulu had wanted to look for Irene earlier.
However, she did not know where Irene lived or how to contact her, and did not want Zachary to know that they
were meeting either.
Since they ran into each other by chance, she decided to seize the opportunity.
They went to a cafe, and as soon as they sat down, Lulu asked, "I want you to tell me what Zachary and his mother
are like."
Irene became thoughtful. "Why ask that?"
Zachary's mother did not like Lulu and was hostile toward her, but Irene would not say that so lightly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, Lulu had just returned, and Irene was worried that she would misspeak and cause conflict between her
and Zachary.
"Zachary wants to take me home to his family, but I don't know them or his mother's attitude. How am I supposed
to get along with them?"
In reality, she had overheard the conversation Irene had with Zachary, and learned that her amnesia was a
consequence of Zachary's mother's attempt to murder her.
While Lulu had survived by luck, she had forgotten the past.
As such, she was asking Irene this now to test her-to see if Irene really was her best friend.
If they were as close as Irene claimed, Irene would know what Zachary's mother did, and she could decide if Irene
is worthy of her trust.
Irene frowned, unable to comprehend why Zachary would want to take Lulu home.
"I need the washroom."
Irene left for the washroom then and whipped out her phone to call Zachary as soon as she reached the
washroom.
Zachary answered soon enough, and Irene immediately demanded, "Are you really taking Lulu home to your
family? What are you thinking?! Did you forget what your mom did to her?!"
